When the Power Switch (P) is moved left to the ‘On’ position, the
RED LED (J) lights up, as does the Green LED (K), this shows a
good battery condition.
If the transmitter batteries are weak and the voltage drops below
9V DC, the green LED flashes to alert you to the possibility that
range will be limited and control might be lost, so new batteries
(or a recharge) are advisable.
If the model does not track straight, adjust the Steering Trim Dial
(M).
If the model creeps forwards or doesn’t sit at Neutral, adjust the
Throttle Trim Dial (N).
The Steering Dual Rate Dial (O) controls the total amount of
steering available. If the servo is straining against the steering
end stops, turn it down (clockwise) until it only just achieves
maximum steering lock. If the vehicle exhibits excess steering, or
when at high speed you feel it over reacts to the slightest
adjustments, turn the Steering Dual Rate Dial down yet further
until the model becomes more controllable, but not so far that you
struggle to negotiate the tightest corner on the course. If the
servo is connected to the receiver correctly but the model does
not steer at all, double check the Steering Dual Rate Dial is not at
Zero, before checking for any more serious faults!

11) RECEIVER INSTALLATION.
The receiver should be securely mounted flat and level in your
model, within the receiver box if available to protect it from
moisture and dust. When routing the aerial keep it as far away
from any electronic devices and metal work as reasonably
possible, with at least the last half of the aerial wire in a vertical
aerial tube to maximise control and range.
For Nitro or Petrol powered models connect the receiver battery
(noting correct polarity) into the socket marked “VCC” or via a
suitable power switch.
Electric vehicles equipped with an ESC should power the radio
(via the BEC) when plugged into channel 2, and receiver power is
usually controlled by the ESC switch.
The third channel is not used on this transmitter, so the third
(bind) socket can be used to power a cooling fan or Personal
Transponder (PT).
12) MATCHING THE RECEIVER TO THE
TRANSMITTER. (BINDING)
To make sure only one transmitter can control the receiver they
need to be matched, and to do so you need to “Bind” them
together so they only recognise each others signature code.
There is a ‘Bind’ plug included with the receiver, and this is
inserted in the third channel (Bind socket) before power is
supplied to the receiver for the first time. The red LED on the
receiver will begin to blink to indicate the bind process has begun.
Now hold down the transmitter bind button (L) before it is
switched on. The transmitter’s green LED (K) begins to blink and
the receivers red LED stops flashing and turns solid red to
indicate the bind process has been achieved. Before you can
operate the model, both the receiver and transmitter should be
switched off and the bind plug removed from the receiver for safe
keeping. Now switch on the transmitter before the receiver and
the model should respond normally. If the receivers red LED does
